    That will find the first instance of white and it will be highlighted just hit the delete key to remove white and then type in the color you would like (you should use just standard colors)

    Hint: If you copy that new text color to your clipboard(Ctrl + c) then all you would need to to is each time white comes up first click the delete key and then use Ctrl + v to copy in the color.

    So use F3 to find the next white text, then use the delete key, then use the Ctrl + v to go through all of the white instances.

    Hint 2: you will find approximately 9 instances for each Uifile 12400,12401,12402.

    After it has found all of the white instances you will get this window telling you so just click OK. That will be the last Uifile 12402. Then you will need to click on the Compile Script button.
